Boeing tells SpiceJet that jet will be back in air by July
Boeing has told one of the biggest 737 Max buyers, SpiceJet, that the grounded jet should be back in the air by July, signalling a quicker return for the plane than many in the industry expect. “The timeline that’s been communicated to us based on their experience is July -- end of June basically,” SpiceJet’s CFO Kiran Koteshwar said. “We are expecting it to be July.” That’s a more bullish timeline than most regulators and airlines have predicted. European regulators assessing proposed changes to the Max are planning to scrutinize the jet’s entire flight-control system before a return to the skies can be approved, while US aviation regulators said they won’t rush the matter. Regulators in Indonesia has signalled it may keep the jet parked until next year. “All the other regulators will also have to be happy with them,” Koteshwar said. <br/>
